Rob Findley 2822bae168 go/types: add unexported start and end positions to type checker errors
Tools often need to associate errors not with a single position, but
with a span of source code. For example, gopls currently estimates
diagnostic spans using heuristics to expand the positions reported by
the type checker to surrounding source code. Unfortunately this is often
inaccurate.

This CL lays the groundwork to solve this within go/types by adding a
start and end position to type checker errors. This is an experimental
API, both because we are uncertain of the ideal representation for these
spans and because their initial positioning is naive. In most cases this
CL simply expands errors to the surrounding ast.Node being typechecked,
if available. This might not be the best error span to present to the
user. For these reasons the API is unexported -- gopls can read these
positions using reflection, allowing us to gain experience and improve
them during the next development cycle.

For golang/go#42290
